lets flash-dresses you wanted &what you ended up with!!

To be honest I never really looked and bought the first one I tried on!!! These threads always give me wobbles!!!

This is it minus the hoop which it definitely needs... excuse the lack of makeup!

It's lovely Mrs C - and no need for wobbles - you can tell by your expression it's obviously 'the one'!

Did you decide to get similar flowers for you hair in the end?

Well, if I REALLY had to go through every dress I thought was THE ONE, we'd go into next page! Here's a summary:

Plus Maggie Sottero's Brianna, Hilary, Layne, Aria then this is what I am ordering next month:

Thanks x ?

I think I will order some, I am gradually deciding against a veil and tiara!!! I tried on my friends veil and it made me feel really claustrophobic!!!

Wow - stunning dresses....

i'm a little boring lol....

I tried on lots of dresses where I live, and found a designer I loved, however, no one stocked the dress I fell in love with.....

This one

It is off white crushed taffeta gown and is perfect.... the straps are detachable so will not be wearing them.....

Am so so excited. I put it on at least once a week, and can not wait to get married.....

i love this one have looked at loads but i keep coming back to this, maybe i'll change my mind when i go to try some on.......watch this space

Oh I know that hollywood dream dress anywhere!! lol, me and Cass2k are also hollywood dream b2b!!! and honestly nothing else compares if you love hollywood dreams dresses.

I have Odette, and Adore it, (in white though). totally over what my sister and bil were thinking of paying (they didnt say I had a budget as such but were thinking max £1500 I think lol) and then I tried this on recommend by the shop assistant and I was like WOW!!!!! my amazing bil wheeled and dealed and first it was gonna cost + £3000!!! but for half cash up front and half when im measured in jan 2011 I got £600 off!!!! (and thats including made to measure!)

so shop around, and SOO many people sell them second hand, which I looked into as it wouldnt bother me personally wearing a second hand dried cleaned dress as I love them soooooo much.

xxxxxxx

What lovely dresses! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this post.

Ok, well, this is the one I thought I wanted:

Then I thought I wanted this one:

And then................................ I fell in love and bought this one:

Laura, this was the first dress to give me "dress envy"! It's beautiful and I am very much looking forward to seeing your report and pics!

Ililacit-love your dress! its made me wobble! i think it looks better on you than the model

Bless you for saying so!

I really liked all of your choices though! However did you choose????

By stopping being so stubborn-it didnt matter how many times i tried on the same dress it just didnt suit me....☹️

so i had to be a little more open minded and tried on the eden dress and just loved it on!!

ordered it this morning in fact!

x

I think if you try one on and you really don't want to take it off, you've found it! x

This is such a awsome thread and glad to see im not the only one who ended up with something different totally lol

here is what I liked and tried on and trying to decide between the three

this was the first choice

then this one

then there was this one

ended up with this beauty xxxx

sorry if the pics are huge!xxxx

I started off knowing mainly what I didn't want, I didn't want strapless no matter what!

I wanted something like this

I went along to the first shop and found that this style did not suit me, sadly it made me look a little like a lolly pop.

I also found that only one style of dress really suited me, strapless mermaid/fishtail... not what I'd been dreaming about...

However 5 shops later I found my dream dress, it was only in the shop for the weekend on trial by the designer..

It's nothing like I wanted but it fits beautifully and look so pretty

Gorgeous dresses girls & a wide variety of styles too.

I adored this Ian Stewart number and I was adament it was the one

But then I tried on this pronovias number and fell in love so I bought it - well my dad did - this is the gown I will be wearing in 9 months time you can barely see the detail on the dress but its full of beading crystals and little pearls its simply stunning.

I looked at this one as well.

How sweet and thank you. I go for my first fitting in 3 weeks so I will flash the results. I still need a bit of convincing that I will look any good in it though!

Aw bless you! It's just so pretty I don't see how it can look anything but Fab!

Good luck, can't wait to see! And I hope your convinced by then too!
